His approval rate in the new CNN poll conducted by SSRS has been leaning negatively in the mark of Donald Trump’s second term as president, but he still holds his first four years in office It’s above the level.
However, polls show that the warm welcome Trump has received this time could be fleeting as optimism about his return to office has been slipping since December. The majority feel that the president is not doing enough to deal with the high prices of everyday goods. And 52% say he was too far away from using presidential forces. A similar majority has pushed federal agencies against the shutters, elevating Elon Musk to a prominent role in efforts to rebuild the government.
The American has been split into previous Trump office performances, with 47% accepting disapprovals of 47% and 52% below the first rating of a recent presidency other than himself. For most of the masses, Trump’s actions are in line with their expectations: three-quarters say the presidency treatment is in line with what he expected, but 25% say it’s in a way he unexpectedly does. They say they have processed the. A few weeks of his first term.
41% say Trump is handling the presidency as expected, and that he is positive that he is meeting their expectations. Almost every person caught off guard considers it a bad thing, but only 21% of all Americans are a group that feels shocked by Trump’s actions in a bad way. Not there.
Most adults across the country, 55% say Trump doesn’t pay enough attention to the country’s most important issues, and 62% do it enough to make him try to lower the prices of everyday items. I feel that it’s not. A significant shares across the party line, including 47% of Republicans, 65% of independents and 73% of Democrats, share the latter view. In CNN’s January poll, the economy overturned all other issues as the biggest concern for Americans.
When they look forward to the remaining second period of Trump (54%) (54%), they describe themselves as pessimistic or fearful rather than feeling enthusiastic or optimistic about it. (46%). In December, 52% were on the positive side and 48% were negative. In particular, the share they say they feel “feared” rose to 6 points to 35%, rising with almost equal shares across the partisan line.
Trump’s support appears to be declining even among the traditionally democratically leaning demographic groups he invaded in last year’s election. A January CNN poll found that 57% of 18-34 year olds, 50% of Hispanic adults and 30% of black adults approved how the presidential transition was handled. Now that Trump has taken office, his approval ratings with those groups stand at 41% among young and Hispanic adults and 23% among black adults.
Hispanic and black adults are more likely than White to say they handled the presidency in ways Trump didn’t expect (35% of Hispanic adults and 20% of white adults). 30% of black adults). That’s a bad thing (29% of Hispanic people, 24% among black people vs. 16% among white people).
About half of Americans feel that Trump has stepped over using presidency and administrative forces (52% say he went too far to do so, well enough). The broad majority of Democrats (87%) and independents (57%) believe he is going too far in using the power of the presidency. Republicans barely agree, but few of Trump’s own partisans want to go further than he already has. 75% say the president’s use of power is almost right, 11% think he’s gone, and 13% think he’s gone enough.
A significant shares are skeptical of his efforts to sort out government programs and shut down federal agencies. About half (48%) say they have gone too far to change the way the US government works. 32% say his approach is appropriate, with 19% saying he hasn’t gone far enough. The large stocks are bad that he has tried to shut down all institutions, such as the US International Development and Consumer Financial Protection Agency (53%), with the aim of cutting too much federal programs (51%). Yes, and I say that’s a bad thing. It’s a bad thing that he gave Musk a prominent role in his administration (54%).
Trump’s proposal was that the US took over Gaza and that Palestinians were the least popular of the early proposals he gave that were tested by the vote. Overall, 58% are calling bad ideas, including 86% of Democrats, 60% of independents and 27% of Republicans. Several Republicans take a neutral position (47% call it neither a good nor a bad thing), while only 26% call it a good thing.
However, some of the president’s early moves draw more calm opposition. When deporting immigrants who live illegally in the US, 39% say Trump’s approach is pretty much correct, and another 16% say he’s not doing enough, and Trump’s score is far too far This is more than 45% who say they went there. And 42% say that Trump was a bad thing that he tried to end federal diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, slightly above 37% say that it’s a good thing. 20% are neutral on this issue.
Democrats and democratic independences are extremely unhappy with the Democrats in Congress’ response to Trump. Almost three-quarters (73%) say the Congressional Party Caucus is far too little to oppose Trump. Only 22% say they’re doing the right amount, and 5% say they’re going too far.
Meanwhile, Republicans and Republican independences primarily see Congressional GOPs doing the right amount to support the president (64%). Adults of Republicans are slightly more likely than white adults who say Republicans do too much to support Trump (21% of Republican/Republican independents , 8% among white Republicans).
Sensation of urgent urgency The Democrats and independents of democratic tendencies are evident in their views on Trump’s interests during his tenure. A new poll shows that 70% of allied adults who have been democratically allied are attacking American democracy from 49% who felt that way in the fall of 2023, and 63% say others He said he said he was afraid to watch. Trump terminology. Democratically allied adults who say democracy is under attack are far more likely to say that the party responds poorly to Trump than other Democrats (82% say that democracy is not a good deal (compared to 58% of people who feel threatened rather than attack).
That view from the left is in stark contrast to that from the GOP. Only 23% view American democracy as being under attack among Republican and Republican-leaning independents. .
With many of the Trump administration’s early actions already facing legal challenges, polls say Americans who have deep trust in the Supreme Court to make the right decision on legal cases related to the Trump administration There are very few. Overall, only 41% have at least moderate confidence in the High Court, peaking at 66% among Republicans. However, few parties express great trust in the courts to deal with any case on this subject. That’s how 19% of Republicans, 7% of independents, and 6% of Democrats feel that way.
The CNN poll was conducted by SSRS from February 13-17 in a random national sample of 1,206 adults drawn from a probability-based panel. The survey was conducted online or via telephone with a live interviewer. The complete sample results have a sampling error margin of either positive or negative 3.1 percentage points.
